To solve the problem, we first analyze the information presented:

1. It mentions the angle measure \( \angle K \) along with \( (5y - 19)^\circ \) and \( 56^\circ \).
2. Typically, in a triangle, the sum of the angles must equal \( 180^\circ \).

### Part 1:
We are tasked with writing an equation to find the value of \( y \). Considering the angle measures given and understanding that they are part of a triangle, we can use the equations provided.

To find \( y \), we can set up the equation as provided:

\[
5y - 19 = 56
\]

### Part 2:
To find \( \angle K \), we only need the expression for \( \angle K \) if we substitute the value of \( y \).

Starting with the equation we wrote:

1. **From the equation**:
\[
5y - 19 = 56
\]

2. **Solve for \( y \)**:
\[
5y = 56 + 19
\]
\[
5y = 75
\]
\[
y = 15
\]

3. **Finding \( \angle K \)**:
Now we substitute \( y \) back into \( \angle K \):
\[
\angle K = 5y - 19
\]
Substituting \( y = 15 \):
\[
\angle K = 5(15) - 19 = 75 - 19 = 56^\circ
\]

Thus:

- **The answer to Part 1 is**:
\[
5y - 19 = 56
\]

- **The answer to Part 2 is**:
\(\angle K = 56^\circ\)
